Pros:

Gets rid of acne scarring i've been dealing with for 3 years!!,gets rid of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples very quickly!! Safe to use while pregnant(I'm 3 months pregnant)

Cons:

Can be a little drying so use a good moisturizer!

Since getting pregnant with my first child my skin has never been the same! For 3 years now my face has not been 100% clear! I'm someone that will not even walk out the house if i have a bad outbreak so acne was controlling my life! I've tried every product on the Walmart shelves, went to a dermatologist, and nothing helped...i have been using calamine for only two days and WOW it has really helped!! I really break out in the middle of my cheeks and one whole side of my face is completely clear and the old stubborn scarring is just about gone! The right side of my face is still a little bumpy looking due to the fact i have four little pimples on my cheek but i'm sure after one more day my whole face will be 100% clear! I'm pregnant with my 2nd child so i'm looking forward to going out with clear skin this pregnancy thanks to calamine lotion!! I've read that some woman think its no safe to use during pregnancy my OBGYN said its 100% safe. I'm happy i found something that worked!

Pros:

cheap, effective

Cons:

looks bad on. Not sexy in bed. :)

Works really well. I have stopped using any b.p. and my face is much clearer and the scars are fading. I would wear it all day if possible. Still get acne, but goes away faster and doesnt scar.

Pros:

Although it doesn't mention anything about acne on it's labelling it does help dramatically with reducing pimples, scars and redness.

Cons:

Have been using it for a year or 2 already so it is good but don't expect all your pimples to disappear as it's consistently helpful but not great or anything. Dryness also occurs so moisturise!

It will help reduce redness and pimples in general. If you're not using it you're missing out!

Pros:

It reduces some of the redness and seems to work a little.

Cons:

it's pink, runny, and dries up and flakes. It looks really dumb when you have it on. It dried up my skin a lot and made it flake.

it's a cheap, quick, marginally effective acne product.

Pros:

- calms acne
- reduces pimples
- washes off easy

Cons:

- leaves white/pink colour on skin, can only use at night
- dries your skin out

my acne is kinda bad but every face wash I've used from Cetaphil to Clean & Clear, but everything irritates my face & makes my skin and acne bright red. Calamine lotion drys the pimples up so in the morning they sort of blend with my skin, instead of looking inflamed and red. it doesn't clear all the acne, but it's the best thing i've tried =]

Pros:

It worked in 3 nights to totally clear all of the zits and pempoles on my chin and nose!

Cons:

Can only wear at night do to pink tone.

I was having breakout after breakout, i discovered calamine lotino on here, i started wearing it to sleep and 3 days later my achne was gone, to prevent it from reaccuring i still wear the calamine lotion mask at night, and wash my face 2 times a day with head and shoulders classic clean, i used the generic brand for both and spent like 2 dollars total. I used to pay 6 dollars a tube for biore, and 4 dollars a tube for clearsil, didnt work, caused a lot of scarring, calamine lotion is helpin with the scarring a lot!

Pros:

Within 3 hours, all of my blemishes lost color and went flat. Acne marks literally vanished within about 9 hours of wearing it. It's really amazing stuff.

Cons:

You can only wear it at night.

I've been on Accutane twice, so obviously I tend to have problematic skin. After using Accutane, acne will be non existent for a year or so but will then come back. Mine came back about 2 years after this time, and it spread from my chin to the apples of my cheek. Not cute. Anyway, within a few hours, everything dried up and all the redness disappeared. I was literally about to pick up the phone and make a dermatologist appt. the same day I tried this..I would have spend hundreds. TRY IT! It's so cheap anyway.
